stopping Cipralex and dizziness

[Diane74]

hi, I was on Cipralex, 10 mg a day for almost 9 months. Since my mood was much better, and I was feeling tired all the time, my GP sugggested stopping it. He told me to stop it in one go, but I gradually decreased it. Had my last pill 8 days ago, and I am feeling dizzy all the time, I also confuse words some times. I just wanted to know for those who stopped before me, how long these withdrawal symptoms last, and if anything can help
thanks

It's very difficult to say. When I was on Seroxat it took quite a few months before I felt "normal" again but it varies for different people. I think on average withdrawal symptoms last a few weeks so try and stick it out - it will get better.

Welcome to the forum and hope you feel better soon.
